APPARATUS FOR HEATING LIQUIDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,874, dated June 9,1885.

Application filed February 5, 1885.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FROMM ANTAL, FRANZ J AKOB KUGLER, and BALLoMA'rYlis, all subjects of the King of Hungary, residing at Buda-Pesth,in the Kingdom of Hungary and the Empire of Austria-Hungary, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Heating Liquids,of which the fol-- lowing is a specification.

This invention consists in the combination, with a coil, ajacketinclosing said coil, and a fire-place situated in the jacket beneath thecoil, of a twin pipe or twin pipes, a partition situated in the interiorof this pipe and ex- 1 5 tending from its mouth, and two branch pipeswhich form the connections of the twin pipe with the coil; also, in thecombination, with the coil, of awater-chamber inclosing the coil, thejacket surrounding the water-chamber, the fire-place situated in thejacket, the twin pipe, the partition situated in the interior of thispipe, and two branch pipes which form the connections of the twin pipewith the coil; also, in the combination, with the coil, the jacketinclosing said coil, and the fire-place situated in the jacket beneaththe coil, of the twin pipe, the partition situated in the interior ofthis pipe and extending from its mouth, two branch pipes which form theconnections of the twin pipe with the coil, and the trap formed in thatbranch pipe which connects with the lower end of the coil.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a verticallongitudinal cross-section 3 5 of our improved heating apparatusconnected with a cask containing wine or other liquid which is to beheated. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same,showiug the method ofconnection when it is desired to heat the contents of two casks at once.Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan view showingthe method of connecting several casks with my apparatus. Fig. 5 is aside elevation of the same.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, (referring especially to Fig. 1,) the letter Aindicates a jacket, made preferably of wrought-iron, and B is thefireplace, which is situated in the lower part of (No model.)

through the coil may not exceed to any extent 212 Fahrenheit, this coil0 is placed ina water'chamber, D, and is connected at its upper andlower ends with pipes b c, which extend through both the walls of thewaterchamber D. and the jacket A. The waterchamber D is of an annularcross-section, and the inner space, E, together with the annular space Fbetween the exterior of the waterchamber and the jacket A, forms acombustion-chamber for the furnace-gases, which is connected with asmOkepipe, H, both at its top and bottom, by openings the size of which,and consequently the ensuing draft, is regulated by suitable dampers, f9. When the damper f is closed, the gases from the furnace pass upthrough the space E, are deflected downward, and pass through the spaceD out through the lower opening into the smokepipe H, as indicated bythe arrows; but when the damper f is open the gases pass directlythrough the upper opening into the chimney. Water is introduced into thewater-chamber D by means of the funnel D, which is provided with a cock,(I, in its stem; or the chamber D may be directly connected with a waterfaucet by a rubber tube. The filling of the water-chamber is continueduntil the water begins to run out through the bent overflowpipe 6, whichleads to a water bucket or tank, G, and then the cock (I is closed. Bythis means the water-chamber can be completely filled, and in thesubsequent heating any superfluous water is expelled through theoverflow-pipe, the end of which is open, and iskept constantly below thesurface of the water in the bucket or tank, so that on the cooling ofthe water-chamber water instead of air will be drawn intothe same. Thewater-chamber can be emptied by a cock, f, at the bottom of the same,which extends through the jacket A. Those parts of the funnel D andoverflowpipe 6 which extend into the combustionchamber are protectedfrom the action of the flames by fire-shields p i, which surround saidparts, and the top of the boiler is likewise protected by a sheet-metaldefiector,j.

Having described the heating part of our invention, we will now describethe means employed to connect the same with a tank, cask, &c. The pipeI), connected with the upper end of the coil C, extends some distancebeyond the jacket A, as before mentioned,and

is connected by means of a union or other suitable coupling with abranch pipe,k,which is connected with a twinpipe faucet, I. Thetwin-pipe faucet I is provided with a partition, Z, which extends fromits mouth to the two branch pipes k and m, forming passages k and m. Thesecond branch pipe, m, is con nected with the lower pipe, 0, preferablybya rubber tube, a. The twin pipeI is made detached from the coil 0, inorder that it maybe driven into the bung-hole of a cask or tank, asshown in the drawings. The fiow of the liquid from thecask into the coilis regulated by acock, J,which is provided with two transverse holes, n0, which correspond in position to the passages k and m, formed by thepartition Z, and in order to prevent the water from backing up throughthe lower pipe, m, the latter is provided with a trap, 12. Connectionshaving been made with a cask containing the liquid to be heated-say, forinstance,wine-the wine flows through the connecting-pipes and fills thecoil 0, and on heating the coil by fire on the grate the wine circulatesfrom the cask through the passage m,the lower branch pipe, m, up throughthe windings of the coil 0, through the upper branch pipe, k, passingIt, back to the cask in the direction indicated by the arrows, and bythis circulation the contents of the cask are uniformly heated. Asbefore stated, the liquid cannot back into the cask through the lowerbranch pipes, m, be-

cause the heated wine or other liquid tends to rise, and in order topass through the trap 19' it would have to fall, which could not occur.

' When the temperature of the liquid reaches 212 Fahrenheit, which isthe limit, as no pressure can arise in the water-chamber, thecirculation of the liquid ceases, and this temperature can be maintainedas long as desirable, or else the cask can be removed by closing 0d theconnections.

When the heating apparatus is to be used for heating water inhouse-boilers,for heating the lower grades of wines, or in heatingliquids in general where the rising of the temperature above 212Fahrenheit will not occasion serious consequences, we construct ourapparatus without the water-chamber D, and allow the coils to be exposeddirectly to the action of the fire, and regulate the temperature bycarefully-constructed dampers, and in this manner can keep approximatelyany desired temperature.

In order to heat the liquid contained in two casks, &c., at one time,weform the upper and lower branch pipes, b 0, each with a forked pipe, MM, and to each pair of upper and lower branches is secured a twin-pipefaucet of the construction before described, and each one of thetwin-pipe faucetsis connected with its respective barrel in the samemanner as before, Figs. 2 and 3. The circulation of liquid is now asfollows: from the casks through the branch pipes at, Fig. 3, the forkedpipe M, pipes c and 0, up through the coil, then through pipe b, forkedpipe M, pipes K, into the casks again. By so connecting the two barrels,as stated, their contents are at the same time thoroughly mixed, whichis of advantage in certain cases.

When several casks or tanks containing liquid to be heated are to beconnected at one time with the heating apparatus, the casks, 850., arearranged in 1ine,the heating apparatus is preferably placed centrallywith the barrels, and the upper and lower branch pipes which connectwith the coils are connected with pipes N N, which extend for the lengthof the row, and are closed at the ends. In each cask is-secured atwin-pipe faucet, its lateral branches is and m being joined,respectively, with the upper pipe, N, and the lower pipe, N, by whichmeans circulation is established through all the casks, as follows: fromthe cooks through the branch pipes m, forked pipe M, pipe N, pipe 0, upthrough the coil,through pipe I), pipe N, forked pipe M, branch pipes k,into the casks, &c.,

Figs. 4 and 5.

WVe do not wish to restrict ourselves to one coil, as several coilsplaced inside of each other may be used to obtain a more rapid heatingof the liquid.

\Vhen it is desired to heat wine or similar liquids when contained inbottles, we use acircular tank filled with water, and which is providedwith a rotating horizontal rack, on which the bottles are placed,submerged in the water. This tank is then connected with the coil 0 inthe manner before described.

In the heating of fine wine our apparatus fulfills all the requirementsnecessary. as it heats the liquid from the bottom upward,keeps the sameout of contact with the air, and when the water-chamber is used thetemperature does not exceed 212 Fahrenheit at any time.

NVhat we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, substantially as herein described, with the coil 0,the jacket A, inclosing said coil, and a fire-place situated in thejacket beneath thecoil, of a twin pipe, I, a transverse horizontalpartition, 1, arranged in the interior of this pipe, and extending fromits mouth and forming the separate passages and m, and two branch pipes,70 m, which form the connections of the two passages of the twin pipewith the coil.

2. The combination, substantially as herein described, with the coil (3,of a water-chamber, D, inclosing the coil, the jacket A, surrounding thewater-chamber, the fireplace situated in the jacket, the twin pipe I,the

transverse horizontal partition Z, arranged in the interior of the twinpipe, and extending 5 from its mouth to form the two passages k and m,and the two branch pipes k m, which form the connections of the saidpassages of the twin pipe with the coil.

3. The combination, substantially as herein 10 described, with the coil0, the jacket A, in-

closing said coil, and the fireplace situated in the jacket beneath thecoil, of the twin pipe I, the transverse horizontal partition Z, ar-

ranged in the interior of this pipe and extend- I 5 ing from its monthto form the two passages k and m, two branchepipes, 7c m, which form theconnections of the two passages of the twin pipe with the coil, and thetrap formed in that branch pipe which connects with the lower end of thecoil. 20
